footstraps on a demonseed

so anyone whos seen a demonseed will tell you it must be a bugger to go up curbs on. so i had an idea and i want to know anyones thoughts on it. ive seen some pictures of people putting footstraps on demonseeds. supposedly it helps with slides etc etc. what im thinking about is putting jus tone at the fron of the board, so that if i need to i can slip my foot in and pull the front of the board up to get up a curb. anyone have any thoughts.

Jam some Sky Hooks on there:

Its made to be placed over the normal decks bolt holes, given the type of board a Demonseed is you would have to drill new holes for it

you seem to be overlooking a major issue... you only want a strap/hook on the front for you to lift your front truck up to get up gutters and curbs.... but then how do you plan on getting your back truck up? do you really think its just gonna automatically follow the front trucks and magically glide up the curb? i dont think so... unless you find a way to lift the back truck (i.e ollie and early grabs) your gonna have yourself a few face plants when the back truck doesnt quite make it and gets chocked up on the curb!

Looks like you are going to need the new Pissweak(tm) training ramp to get you set for your skate sessions.

This is guaranteed to get you ready for all those face plants, and make you an expert skater in no time!

My Voodoo Doll agrees with Jacko - it being the voodoo doll that went under bus tyres after getting rear truck kerb hookup. Learning to early grab is definitely the better option unless you're planning to run two hooks, which will be annoying and restrictive.

falling off with your feet caught in the hooks could be an interesting sight

if your going to use anything use the freebord s2's they are semi viable to ollie with only one foot in the straps, its a real ankle work out but can be done with practice
